Bands On

Yesterday I got my separators removed and my bands put on. Oh, that hurt!

First, they took out the blue separators, in my back molors. They were there, to make space for the bands. I was glad to have them out. My lower right molar was really achy, from moving around.
   I then had to get measured for my bands. This process was painful. Taking a metal band, to fit around your molar, then shoving it way down, onto the gums. The band, is so the arch wire locks into place. 

They found the right sized one. Then placed it on my already painful, moving teeth. I used what they call a, "bite stick," to bite the band way down onto my molar. Ouch!!! But, it didn't hurt throughout the day, like or I really didn't have to get used to them, over the next couple days. Except, for the foreign feeling on my tounge, from the inside of the band.

Other than that- they put the same arch wire back in, and I got aqua elastic color bands, because I was going to Florida.
